Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. John Wickham:
There are issues of which we are aware. Education goes a long way to improving everyone's understanding from the point of view of the economic operators right down to that of those responsible for buildings. A lot is happening with regard to the review of standards. We have in recent months produced a guide to make it easily understood by everyone involved what their responsibilities are and to ensure they choose proper products, scrutinise the declarations and performance of manufacturers, and send it back those products if they do not accept them. It is important that all those in the supply chain take responsibility for putting proper materials into buildings.
